Brooklyn Nets trade Jeremy Lin to Atlanta Hawks

BROOKLYN, New York — The Atlanta Hawks reportedly have a deal in place to acquire veteran guard Jeremy Lin from the Brooklyn Nets. It was one of two moves for the Nets on Thursday, who also reportedly sent Isaiah Whitehead to the Denver Nuggets for Darrell Arthur, Kenneth Faried and a 2019 first-round pick.

The Hawks now add Lin, who has one year remaining on his contract, to that guard mix.

As part of the deal, Atlanta and Brooklyn will exchange future second-round picks.

Sean Marks has kept me updated on our team's moves during this offseason. He and his team are doing terrific work to build the Nets for the long term. I love Jeremy Lin because he represents the underdog in all of us — truly first class on and off the court.
